I've played all the other fast car tabs and I think this one sounds the best, my cousin taught me how to play this, took me like 5 min to master. Play with the thumb and index finger, finger picks are nice but don't make a difference, don't try and strum it unless your really good and can hit this haha. It's a great little tune to play for your girlfriend if your ever just sittin around and don't want to be sittin around any more... Haha

     1,2,3,etc... = Frets
     h = hammer-on's

[D]I remember we were [A]driving driving in your car
[F#m]The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
[Esus]City lights lay out before us
[D]And your arm felt nice wrapped[F#m]'round my shoulder
[E]And I [D]had a feeling that [F#m]I belonged
[E]And I [D]had feeling I [E]could be someone, be someone, be someone
